But that means it's snowing, right? Way to take one for the team. :yourock:
Schadenfreude. I have it.
and in other news the sun rose in the east again this morning ;)
Hopefully it clears up by 6:30 tomorrow morning so I can shred the gnar at Loveland.
IT WAS DEEP AND BOTTOMLESS THIS morning at Loveland........I got up and down early....i had no traffic and multiple face shots.
I-70 made me move to Utah.. Thank you god for I-70!
The gnar has been shredded already. Stay home and save yourself the stress and trouble.Quote:

at least with this snow there will be water for the golf courses this summer!
Funny...I-70 is a breeze on the weekdays. Never go west of Golden on a sat/ sun.
Just wait for the construction to really begin. This year will be a shit show of epic proportions.
You think I-70 is bad?-- You've never driven I-80 SFO-Tahoe. That will give you new perspective on nightmare. I friggen moved to Oregon.
Where is that weak ColoRADo alias?
He is needed.
It was a breeze yesterday, too. Roughly 15 minutes extra driving from the tunnel to Denver starting just after 4 pm. Apparently two bad snow seasons in a row have broken the spirit of the less-committed Colorado skiers.Quote:

Gee, what a surprise...3 semis involved. They need to close I-70 to trucks during peak hours on the weekend imo
We don't need an alias to tell everyone how fucking RAD we rO!!!!Quote:

You could talk about the need for Jesus to abort gay fetuses because the Nazi liberals are trying to elect Chris Dorner as the new Pope, and you would sound more logical.
A true BroCore would just move to SuCo...
Or Boulder.
Carry on
Last time I checked, all that "recreational traffic" was creating a significant amount of "commerce" in Colorado.Quote:

Indeed it is, and the heavy traffic, brought on by semi's or whatever other perceived issue, probably adds to that commerce in extra nights sold in hotel rooms and increased stops at restaurants and gas stations. The only harm it does is you may get home at 7 PM instead of 5 PM, if that is such a huge issue to you, avoid peak travel times, instead of dictating that others should do so for your convenience.Quote:

It's very difficult to get to a hotel or restaurant when you are stuck in gridlock on the highway. The time wasted alone is staggering, not to mention the cost of fuel, wear and tear on vehicles, environmental damage, etc. I know all the tricks, been doing it for years...but when I leave Dillon at 1:30 on a Friday and it takes 90 minutes just to get to the tunnel, something is fucked up and I think every option should be considered to try and alleviate it.Quote:

I guess it depends on your perspective when it comes to the money involved with traffic. Money wasted by them is money that potentially benefits my community.
I agree that something very much NEEDS to be done, but I personally don't feel restrictions or increased lane capacity is the answer. I feel the root of the problem is lack of driver training and sub par equipment. My sisters driving test consisted of driving around a block, after that she could hop in any car with bald tires and drive I-70 in a blizzard if she wanted to, which is complete bullshit.
Most of the congestion I have experienced is purely from lack of driver ability, followed by unsuitable equipment. I know this is the USA, but it's really a public safety issue.
I won't lie and say I know all the answers, but I don't think restricting truck traffic is a solution. Personally, I think stricter regulations on drivers licenses and vehicles is a good start, but the only way that could work is with a viable public transportation system.
I would happily give up the freedom of having my own transport if public transit to the mountains was a viable option. The obvious ways of getting around the I-70 clusterfuck (weekdays, leaving before dawn, moving to Montana, not going to Summit at all etc.) are great for those who can, but for those who cannot, it's a pretty demoralizing situation. From my observations over many years of sitting in traffic up there, the main culprits (in concert with a totally unreasonable volume of vehicles) are the tunnel entrances. Without fail, no matter how few cars there are on the road, people tap their brakes before entering the Idaho Springs and Eisenhower tunnels. Especially at Idaho Springs. And a small handful of brake taps from anxious drivers causes some kind of fucked up chain reaction leading to traffic backing up for miles in each direction. It's like clockwork. As long as the state is only going to commit to stopgap "fixes" like patrol car pacing and such, they should install super bright lighting at the entrances to the tunnels to soothe the anxieties of drivers and keep them from braking suddenly for no good goddamn reason. Then they should build a train line with monies from marijuana sales.Quote:

And this 2 billion dollar train line will terminate where? Silverthorne? Vail? People are expected to rent a car in dillon if they need to get to keystone or breck or abasin? What are tourists going to do with their shittons of luggage and ski gear? Take a train from dia that requires a transfer at union station then take a train to silverthorne where they take a bus to keystone all while carrying ski gear and luggage? How much will train tickets be? Will there ever be enough money to even build this pipedream bullshit i70 train everyone always talks about?
Here's my solution. Two reversible lanes from Golden to Vail. That way you've got 4 lanes going W or E depending on predictable traffic patterns. The two new lanes are only available for vehicles with 4+ people and mass transit. If you meet neither criteria, you pay a toll. Not enough space in Straight Creek or Clear Creek Canyons for 2 more lanes? Find a new route or stack the highway vertically in the cramped quarters. Start up a rapid bus transit from Golden to Dillon and Vail Valley. No stops. No detours through Idaho Springs or Georgetown. Hop on an expanded Summit Stage to any of the resorts in Eagle or Summit and you're good to go.Quote:

Fuck the train idea. The terrain is way too rugged. You could build a train, but unless it is cheap AND fast, nobody will take it, and I have a hard time believing a train could be build through the Rockies that goes 100 mph+. Build more lanes..
What about building another viable route to summit? Make 285 a real 4 lane (total) highway all the way to South Park then one spur that goes to the south end of Breck and another spur that heads towards Leadville and north to rejoin 70 at Copper...agree the train concept just doesn't work for many reasons
It is still an asinine, extremely uninformed statement - not to mention the fact that he seemed to ignore the 17 other cars that were involved. The truckers are not the problem. They can ford those roads when everyone else should stay home.Quote:

Moving to the PNW sounds easier. Getting first tracks on Sunday and getting a couple hours in before you head home at 11AM sounds even easier.Quote:
